Cultural Resource Surveys, Evaluations, and Excavations on Federal Lands in Nebraska and Kansas | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Cultural Resource Surveys, Evaluations, and Excavations on Federal Lands in Nebraska and Kansas" (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00067) was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management). The specific project described in the notice is "Testing Archeological Sites at High Butler Lake, Nebraska," which falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, meaning the Bureau of Reclamation anticipated having substantial involvement in how the work is carried out (for example, coordination on research design, field methods, compliance requirements, reporting, and deliverables), rather than issuing a hands-off grant.

A key point of this announcement is that it was not a request for applications. Instead, it served as a public notice of the Bureau of Reclamations intent to fund project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, that means the agency was signaling it planned to make an award through a non-competitive process, typically because a specific partner, capability, continuity of prior work, unique qualifications, or other allowable justification applied. Even though the eligibility field is listed as "Unrestricted," the text makes clear that the announcement was not inviting the broader public to apply and compete for the award.

The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $52,997. The award ceiling was also listed as $52,997, indicating the agency expected the project to be funded up to that amount, while the award floor was listed as $1, reflecting a system minimum rather than a realistic project range. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.

In terms of timing, the notice was posted on August 12, 2014, with the original and current closing date both listed as August 29, 2014, and an archive date of September 12, 2014. Those dates function more as administrative milestones for the public notice period rather than a conventional application window, since the agency explicitly stated it was not soliciting applications. The announcement included an additional information link (http://intra.gp.usbr.gov/), which appears to be an internal Bureau of Reclamation address and may not be accessible to the general public outside the agency network.

For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed contact was Leisa Philbin, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at (406) 247-7606 or by email at lphilbin@usbr.gov. Overall, this opportunity was essentially a formal notice that the Bureau of Reclamation planned to support archaeological testing work at High Butler Lake in Nebraska through a single cooperative agreement, using a non-competitive approach under its cultural resources management authority and program area.
